Well, bah-humbug to you, too.

Yeah. My wife and I have a very close marriage and love each other like crazy, but I love fish and she can’t eat it - and I hate Christmas and she is practically Mrs. Claus. The good news is that those are our only two incompatibilities.

My compromise is that we only watch Christmas movies from Thanksgiving through the end of the year (and that’s a lot since we don’t have TV), and she decorates the house, and she cooks me fish sometimes.

Christmas to me is mall traffic (which I no longer do) credit card debt (which we no longer do) and cancer causing sweets (which I avoid as much as humanly possible). My southern gospel band wanted me to play Christmas and New Years with them. I said no can do, though I am singing in the Christmas choir tomorrow.

I think Christmas season is just too darned divisive these days. I prefer to celebrate it every day.
